This is Part IV in a series on Opiates: Are There Any Good Answers? Last week, we visited with a mom who lost her only child to an accidental overdose. We can all agree this was hard to read, but a necessary part of our series. This week, we change direction a bit, and we hear from a lady who has horrific pain issues, but due to the current Opiate crisis, can no longer get pain medication. Many of our readers have written to us,
It sounds like it might be too good to be true, but Group Reporting under the Quality Payment Program is an important thing to understand. Under the QPP and the MIPS program, in 2017, any practice with more than 2 providers can use group reporting by submitting data on JUST TWO PROVIDERS! If you have 10, 30 or even 100+ providers under your TIN, successfully reporting on just two (in their specialities) can avoid a penalty and potentially result in a partial or full bonus.
QCDR Reporting is the best option for practices specializing in Physical Medicine and Pain Mitigation/Management focused practices.

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
October 4, 2017
Manchester, Maine
Patient360 (P360) is proud to announce that 100% of our clients were successful in their 2016 PQRS submissions.
Having been in the registry business for well over a decade, we are pleased with our track record but must work each year to not only help clients optimize performance but even to learn whether they were successful.
With so many outcome and reporting expectations from Medicare and other payers, choosing to report (never mind when, and how) can become just another exercise in provider based procrastination. The Medicare Quality Payment Program (QPP) is a different beast.
David Letterman may be gone from regular late-night television, but his Top 10 shtick is still a favorite well past a time when the younger crowd cannot recall who made it popular. What’s not going away is the Quality Payment Program (QPP) and thankfully, it includes Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDR) to personalize and optimize the quality measure reporting experience.
